Volume Prices

Volume pricing is a pricing strategy that allows discounts for bulk
purchases. Typically, the greater the number of products purchased
the greater discount.

Volume prices are triggered in the shopping basket based on the
business logic coming from Microsoft Dynamics AX and are shown on
the product details page. This way a customer can see the pricing
offers directly on the product details page, before ordering the
product.

In Microsoft Dynamics AX use trade agreements
to set up pricing rules to be shown in the View Volume
Discounts table on the product details page in the
webstore.

To show volume prices in the Sana Commerce webstore, the
Volume prices option should be enabled in Sana
Admin.

If sales prices/ sales
discounts are set for a product in Microsoft Dynamics AX
and the Volume prices option is enabled in Sana
Admin, then in the webstore on the product details page a customer
will see a link View volume discounts under the
product price. Clicking on this link opens the table with volume
discounts coming from Microsoft Dynamics AX. The volume discounts
are presented per each unit of measure and can be set up per single
product as well as per each product variant.

Volume Prices on the Product Details Page of the
Webstore

The View volume discounts table on the product
details page presents the following information:

The minimum quantity of products that the customer should
purchase in order to gain the agreed discount.

Unit of measure (UOM) the customer can order in.

Sales price from the Trade agreements table or
calculated sales price based on the line discount.

The discount % from the Trade agreements table
or the calculated % based on the unit price from the
Released product details form and sales price from
the Trade agreements table.

To set up sales
prices/discounts in Microsoft Dynamics AX
select a product and at the top switch to the Sell
tab click Create trade agreements. At first you
should create a record in the journal. When the journal record is
created, click Lines at the top of the
Price/discount agreement journals
form.

The following table provides descriptions for the required
price/discount agreements fields:
